I just went and got my starter according to ID - Tepig - Yay :( I was kinda hoping for oshawott or snivy but I guess that Tepig will have to do - I named him Pumba (Lion King reference :3) and that was all - I want to focus on LP now and finish that first ~

VS Tate & Liza: I basically used Surf and it was over. I obtained Dive and continued the story.

Seafloor Cavern: Golbat

VS Archie: I overestimated Mega Sceptile's power and I didn't expect his Muk to carry Gunk Shot. Sceptile fainted. -cries-

VS Primal Kyogre: I used about 15 Dive Balls so far and then mid-battle, I accidentally fainted it......

November 26

VS Wallace: I taught Thunder to Latias, which really made this gym easy. I traveled to Ever Grande and decided to explore a few other areas to catch any viable Pokemon. I added the Lunatone to the party.

Victory Road: Medicham

Shoal Cave: Sealeo

Meteor Falls: Lunatone

Route 115: Taillow

November 27

Route 123: Shuppet

VS Wally: I really like this battle theme. The battle itself was fun, but my team was several levels over his and was thus a short battle.

November 28

Evolved Dusclops. My team is around levels 55-57. I prepare to go to the Elite Four tomorrow.

November 29

I entered the Elite Four. I love the scenery and elite four rooms, with Sidney and Phoebe's being my favorites. Anyway, this is the team I enter with:

- Latias 2ohko's Skarmory with thunder, but the toxic hits
- Breloom fainted from a critical hit iron tail from Aggron
- Dusknoir evaded stone edge and defeated Aggron
- Dusknoir 3ohko's Claydol
- Lunatone and Skarmory defeat Cradily
- Sharpedo ohko's Armaldo
- Latias used dragon pulse while mega Metagross used bullet punch. Both attacks did mediocre damage, and thus the both of us adjusted our strategies.
- I used thunder which paralyzed Metagross. It used giga impact, which was useless as I used recover the turn it had to recharge..
- Yet, next turn, Latias survived the second giga impact with 2 HP...
- Thunder hits...!
- Latias grew to level 59!

Update #1 - 1/6
Not going through all the captures, as there are quite a few, but I've beaten Roarke, however I have lost one of my pokemon, a bidoof by the name of hercules. Somewhere along the way, my team developed pokerus. I suspect it was after capturing Echo, she probably had pokerus and passed on through the team.Team;

Ha ha, ha-ha-HA. Good girl, BC.

On a more serious note, Route 2 gives us a Patrat. We'll name this one Flower, after what amounts to the late heroine of Meerkat Manor. Ah, memories...
Of cooooourse. Of coooourse Flower would have the good grace to be bullschist Modest. Well, I'll be damned. I'll grind this 'kat up for now, but only Bad Cat will move on once she's hit L10.
Gah, Pursuit! Flower wouldn't have done much anyway, but bleh. Just bleh.
And soon after I go back, I see a youngster with a Patrat. Just insulting...
(BURYING INTENSIFIES)
Okay, now that we got over the mishap, Bad Cat has reached L12.

Man, if I had paid attention to rival starters getting their second abilities, I wouldn't have taken such a massive risk. :/
The Dreamyard Trainers fell with ease.
Meet Incredible the Panpour! I named him that because I was incredible enough to keep only one Poke until now.
Soooooo let's see how Cheren does...
Hiro vs. Cheren

Start of my Journey i wake up. i go down stairs and i go to... yeah cut the ********...

I Got my Kendrow(Charmander) from Prof.OAK
Destroyed my rival.
Route 1 Pidgey did not have any pokeballs Killed.
Got Oak's Parcel from the Mart.
Got the Pokedex from Prof.OAK
Route from the side of Viridian?(don't remeber the name of the town)
Caught Nidoran(Male) Lvl 3. His name is indeed KingJunior
First Pokemon at Viridian Forest was a Weedle Killed it.
Beat Everyone from Viridian Forest.
Arrived at Pewter City
Grinded(Is that the word ?)my Pokemon up to level 14

Username: Astinus
Version: FireRed
Single/Ultimate?: Single
Additional Rules: -All Pokemon must be nicknamed
-A black/white out is game over
-No hold items
-Pokemon on team must not be stronger than the Gym Leader
-No duplicate captures

Update:

-started a new game with Squirtle ("Teeno") as my starter
-After getting Pokeballs and officially starting everything, the first Pokemon I ran into on Route 1 was a Rattata, which Teeno knocked out with a critical hit
-On Route 22, I ran into a Rattata, which I caught ("Tatters")
-Headed quickly up to Route 2 for another Pokemon, which was a Pidgey ("Porgey")
-currently level-grinding outside of Viridian City

Update:
-leveled up Porgey to level 9, then decided to challenge my rival on Route 22. Tatters and Teeno worked together to defeat the rival
-Porgey was ready to practice her Gust in Viridian Forest
-first, though, I caught a Weedle ("Needle")
-Porgey took care of all the Bug Catchers in the forest. At the end, before fully entering Pewter City, I level-grinded a bit to get everyone to level 13
-challenged Brock. Teeno took the gym on his own, taking out pretty much all the Pokemon inside with just one Water Gun a piece
-with Boulder Badge in hand, I headed off to Route 3, where I ran into a Spearow. Porgey killed it. I guess there can be only one bird.
-Mt. Moon was super easy. Along the way, I caught a Zubat ("Zubzy")
-outside of Cerulean, I caught an Ekans ("ECH")
-again, defeated my rival with ease
-On Nugget Bridge, Teeno evolved into Wartortle and Zubzy helped to catch a Caterpie ("Error")
-...and then died in the battle against Misty. Starmie's Water Pulse confused Teeno, and he knocked himself out when he had only one hit point.

Well... I myself am doing an Egglocke of Pokemon FireRed Omega which is a ROM hack. I think it's pretty self-explanatory of the base game, but it is the original Pokemon FireRed. Is it alright if I sign my Egglocke up here? I even have a YouTube series ready for it with the first episode as well as a tutorial episode. I just need people to send in eggs for me by the end of Friday.

I headed north from Cerulean to Route 24 and 25, hoping to catch a Grass Pokemon to help handle the giant weakness the remaining Pokemon had against Ground/Rock Pokemon.

I found an Abra! It ran away.

After that, I tried my luck against a few trainers. Error evolved into Butterfree. While playing, I wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention during trainer battles, and I believe Error died to a Geodude using some move. Error wasn't the only death. Tatters fell in battle against an Onix.

I still have Porgey, and a decision to make about my team. All the Pokemon sitting in the box are Poison-types, so things might get a little difficult.

Team:
Unable to update because I don't know where my game cartridge is.

Optional rules:
You must nickname all of your Pokemon.
A black out/white is a "game over," even if there are Pokémon left in the PC.
You must change the battle style to SET.
You may not use/catch legendary Pokémon.
Exp share turned off.
Not using items in battle. But I will use healing items outside off battles.
Using mega only when your opponent has A mega too.
Edit: Also no using o-powers, except giving of course to increase level.

Okay, now this caught my eye right here... The Nuzlocke Ultimate challenge definitely sounds like something I want to try out especially since nobody has tried it yet, but I have a few questions about the Ultimate Nuzlocke.

1. It said that only enhanced versions of games will be counted in the Ultimate challenge. So does that mean I can only do games from Tough Red, Complex Crystal, Emerald Omega, Bloody Platinum, and Pokemon Blaze Black? Something like that? Is there a list of accepted enhanced hacks that Ultimate challengers are allowed to do?

2. Speaking of going through the six regions, that means I have to go from Gen 1 all the way to Gen 6? That means I can't use the remakes like FireRed Omega or Sacred Gold?

3. So, if only enhanced hacks are accepted, does that mean that X/Y and OR/AS are exempt from the Ultimate challenge or are they given an exception to the rule and still be played?

I know this might seem stupid to ask and it probably is, but I want to ensure that I'm doing this correctly before I submit my ballot for the Ultimate challenge as I am going to have the Ultimate challenge be recorded on my YouTube channel for proper records and insurance that I don't do anything outside of the Ultimate challenge rules. Looking forward to the response, man. I want to be the very best like no one ever was.
